Have you ever dreamed of owning a large mansion? Then look no further.

Here's a home with 46 bedrooms, 26 bathrooms and a nine car garage. And if you're willing to shell out $3.5 million, then this large home, located at 2354 County Road 59 in Manvel, Texas, could be for you.

The 60,175-square-foot brick home, also equipped with an elevator, sits on a 15-acre lot with a swimming pool and indoor spa.

Realtor Christy Buck told ABC News affiliate KTRK that the home, which was built by a doctor and his wife in 2001, was intended to be used as a live-in rehab facility for doctor's patients.

Before construction on the on home was complete, the couple decided to build another home on the adjacent lot.

The catch, for anyone interested in buying the home, is the home needs a lot of work.


Mona Miller, of the Christy Buck Team, tells the Houston Chronicle that they've had "some inquires for assisted living," but "whoever buys the property will probably need to take it down to the building shell and the studs."

It took me a few seconds, but I laughed out loud.

Thread title excellence!

There's two of them, they're so weird, I drive past them every now and then.

aside from the price and location, Julian, you can't buy that: Teresa would spend all her time cleaning the place, and you'd starve, and she'd be way too tired for snuggling at night. :D

Not all that attractive. IMO.

and, for 3.5 I could buy a MUCH nicer (although smaller) place here in the Sunshine State.

All that's missing is a Holiday Inn sign in the front of it. :rolleyes:

Precisely what I was thinking.

They were (partially) built by a pediatrician, who planned on using them as in patient treatment centers. I guess he had financial problems, so he defaulted on his loans, and now a bank owns them. They would be good for some kind of in patient treatment facility, but, having stood vacant all these years, they probably have big problems, and somebody with deep pockets would have to pick these up for a song to make it worth while.
